Rant: Hows' 'bout them BUCs? Rave: Hows' 'bout them BUCs?

[wondersofwine]

Fans rioting--burning cars I believe. Generally showing no class. I've seen how easily mobs can get out of control. My sorority once led a semi-spontaneous pep rally for the Nebraska Cornhusker football team before the game against Oklahoma. We had some band members to dinner and then they led us, with their musical instruments, down the street to serenade the football dorm, picking up students from other housing units along the way. Crowd then went downtown (a few blocks from campus) and starting getting out-of-hand--climbing over parked automobiles and such. That was definitely not part of the plan. They didn't set any fires however and soon dispersed when the police directed them to. (Cornhuskers defeated Sooners that year, by the way).
